This article talks about how to provide information on the portable handheld digital still camera. It provides the information how we can use the cameras in the classrooms. This is very good website for teachers to get some ideas on how they can use the camera in the classrooms. I am going to use, by taking a picture of the child and make a book called "All about me", this child have to take that book and answer to the questions that are going to be in it.
I would purchase small Cannon, because I think Cannon takes good pictures. It's very simple so kids won't break and it's easy to use it.
10 Ideas how I would use in my classrooms:
All About Us, take photos of students and let them write about themselves.
Make personalized name tags.
Play bingo with photos.
Take pictures during plays, sporting events, and etc. Than create a slide show and a book, and show it at the end of year to your students for fun.
Go to the park/field trips with your students and take pictures.
Make magnets of the students.
Make thank you notes.
At the beginning of the year, use the 5 seconds movie option to record each student's name, their hobby.
Take a series of pictures (steps) showing how to do something.
Use student photos for "Student of the Week" display.
